lucy and leif

We took off too late on a Friday afternoon, speeding across the UP, even picking up a bridesmaid along our way, got lost, got lost again in a maze of cornfields, and finally ended up in the straight-out-of-a-movie Northfield Minnesota. Where is Northfield? It is just south of Minneapolis, and home to St. Olaf college - our site for a wedding and a bride and groom about as photogenic as they get. We spent the next couple days with them and the Boston superstars from Jeff Brouillet Films - making our home-base the Froggy Bottom's Pub & Inn right on the river. A rehearsal across it at the Contented Cow (seriously, MN, what's with the names?) kicked off what continued to be a 36-hour blur of contagious laughter and shutter-clicks. All of this surrounded by amazing food, venues, perfect weather, and the most eclectic collection of gorgeous characters you'll ever meet. And we'd know - we've met plenty... Congrats to Lucy and Leif on a stunning wedding and a life of happiness together. We felt like part of their family - and who wouldn't? We shared hugs, tears, whiskey, and 2am pizza with them. Another shout-out to videographers Jeff and Amanda. Photogs and videogs don't usually gel, but you'd think we've worked with them for years - hopefully we will! Check out their amazing work from this wedding. Okay. Less words. More photos:
